A great little farmer's market focused on food. I went here on a Thursday afternoon and there was a…read moregood amount of people, but not crowded at all. Located in the parking lot of the indoor garden store, parking was easy to find. I would estimate a dozen or so vendors, with many I didn't recognize as repeats from Sunday Market. Live music. Vendors included: -Two food booths (Blue Scorcher with baked goods and Monte Alban with Mexican food), as well as two food trucks, one vegan and the other selling bowls of some sort. -Fresh ice teas -Meats including short ribs and lamb -Cranberry juice -Fresh eggs -Goat cheeses -Lots of veggies, herbs, fruit, and plants -Unique jams (e.g. kiwi) and the best garlic pesto I've ever had - free samples! There is also an info booth, Master Gardener booth, and a booth for kids activities. Apparently there is a pie walk too! Pets not allowed, but I noticed a sign that says the volunteers are available to watch them for you. Love that they have stuff here that isn't easily available at the local grocery stores, including bok choy, golden raspberries, and Thai basil plants.

Also ordered a pork tamale from a neighboring stand and gobbled that up just in time for our crab cakes to be ready, literally hot off the grill. Also good: I liked the "bog bites" cranberry stand fun folks and yeah we got some for us and some for gifts! and the several local spirits stands, thanks for the tastes and I hope someday to be able to see your product in California! The less good: I can see why this is called a Sunday Market and not a Farmer's Market. I have to say I was hoping to see and eat more fresh fruit, here at the peak of summer. I think only two stands in the market had fruit, which was sort of a bummer. But overall, a great reason to bend our travel through Astoria, on the way back to Portland from Cannon Beach!

Astoria Co+op is one of my favorite co-ops, period. I live in Portland but enjoy visiting Astoria,…read more& the co-op is a must-stop for me.

Astoria Co+op, which is across the street from a Shell Gas Station, is a market that has a little…read moresalad bar and deli that also sells prepared meals and even has a little dining area for you to eat your food. Because we were driving through on our road trip, we decided to make a stop here for a late lunch this last Tuesday afternoon, around 2:15 pm. After we parked, we walked inside and headed towards the salad bar/ hot bar food area. After looking around (there is also a counter that you can order made to order sandwiches and burritos), I ended up deciding to purchase the following: Peanut Chicken Sesame Noodle Salad, $8.99- This was quite a massive portion so I only ended up eating about 1/3 of it and then had the rest over the next few days (I ended up mixing it with some chopped cucumbers and tomatoes that I had to make a large salad). I loved the peanut sesame dressing and noodles in this salad but wished there was more chicken. Mayak Egg Noodle Bowl, $8.99- My husband picked this salad for himself but I didn't have any. He thought it was good and appreciated something fresh, as his bowl had shredded cabbage, like my salad, and cucumbers and shredded carrots. Pumpkin Pie, $6.99- My husband saw this small pumpkin pie and decided to get it because he is such a big fan of it. I actually don't like pumpkin as much as when I was much younger. But I did like this pie and thought the flavors were well balanced, not too overly sweet. ---------------------------------------- (Total= $24.97) I really appreciated that the little dining area (there is also an outdoor dining area as well but because it had rained previously, we opted to sit inside) had plastic bowls and plates available for you to put your food in. This was helpful for me to be able to thoroughly mix my noodle salad since the dressing was mostly on the bottom. Then after I mixed it, I just put it back in the plastic container and only left about 1/3 of the salad in my bowl to eat. If I lived in this area, I would definitely be a regularly of this market (specifically for the prepared food area).

I am now looking forward to Thanksgiving and plan to have a standing rib roast rather than the traditional turkey.

I am picking it up a day in advance to prepare and am confident it will be the best family feast ever! I expect enough leftovers to eat prime dip sandwiches for the football weekend.

The Grand Dame of the Columbia River Smokery, Astoria, Ore…read more - There are cathedrals of salt, smoke, and time, and then there is Josephson's Smokehouse, a cedar-shingled shrine on the edge of the Pacific Northwest where briny fog meets hardwood ember. Here, the art of curing is not a craft but a calling. Lunch is a liturgy. The clam chowder arrives like a maritime memory-velvety, studded with tender-cheeked clams, each spoonful a foghorn in a bowl. The salmon burger, grilled to a rosy medium, defies the dry, crumbly fates of lesser patties; it is juicy, lush, and dressed with a tartar that brightens like a lighthouse flash. But the true epiphany? The lox on a bagel--silk-smooth, brined with the precision of a jeweler, draped over cream cheese that yields like fresh snow. It is not merely eaten; it is contemplated. We depart with coolers stuffed with their cold-smoked Sockeye salmon-amber-gold, peppery, almost buttery in its melt-destined for Manhattan bagels and late-night toasts. It travels like treasure. Yet Josephson's soul isn't found in the smokehouse alone-it lives in the warm, unhurried grace of its counter staff, each one wonderfully kind. Against the coldness of algorithms, this is hospitality as rebellion. Five stars? Insufficient. This is a constellation.

It was a good decision. Note for fellow travelers: their menu is small. They are a smokehouse that oh by the way has a small dining area as well, which they call the Chowder House. Small can be beautiful. Specialization has its benefits. We ordered the chowder and smoked salmon on rye. First, the chowder. It's the real deal, slightly thinner than some, but not too thin, and boy howdy delicious. Seriously, its some of the best. I would say it's up there with Gracie's Sea Hag in Depoe Bay. It does not skimp on the clams, and is chunky throughout. The smoked salmon on rye exchanges a bagel for rye toast, but keeps the rest of the traditional deli staple intact. There is cream cheese, capers, red onion, and, of course, the salmon. (I don't know where smoked raw salmon ends and nova lox begins. They seem to be the same.) This is where we begin to understand those benefits of specialization. It was simply the best I've had. It was well smoked and tasted fabulous with the rye. If you have passed this place by for years as well, stop it, and stop by. It's good stuff. They also ship their smoked salmon.
